Tech Clinic / Spy Sherriff attack - can't reboot
« on: October 31, 2005, 12:40:26 PM »
I know Spy Sherriff is all over the place and there are programs to downlaod to help fix the situation, but I can't boot up to add a program or even launch one. Even in safe mode the hour glass is constant and task manager hangs.
I am resigned to reformatting at this point, but I am wondering if I can't retrieve some docs and pics by using the drive as an external usb drive. I have replaced an external usb drive with the sick one and can see most of the files when I access it from my laptop, but I can't see any files in the My Documents folder of the administrator. Is there a way to access these files in this external way or is there some other way to save files from this sick drive? Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks,
